Fighting for clean, safe drinking water

Clean, safe drinking water is a right, not a privilege. Groundwater provides drinking water for 70% of Wisconsin, but due to a multitude of threats and issues, too many Wisconsinites cannot drink the water from their tap. This is because over-pumping groundwater, polluted runoff and improperly disposing of toxins all threaten our groundwater supply and in turn, the health of our families. Clean Wisconsin works to ensure all resident have access to clean, safe and plentiful drinking water.

Clean Wisconsin does this by:

Dried-up waterways and unsafe drinking water is a reality for too many Wisconsinites due to weak groundwater protections and over-pumping. Clean Wisconsin is committed to strengthening our groundwater protections.

The compounds and chemicals found in prescriptions and over-the-counter medications can pollute our drinking water supply when we don’t dispose of them properly. Clean Wisconsin is committed to finding better, more convenient disposal options for pharmaceutical waste.
